What is this bug (also don't mind my friend photobombing the picture with a stick of butter)

It's a green lacewing! It's also known as a "stinkfly" since it produces a foul odour when threatened! I learned that the hard way when I had one of these in my bathroom and humanely got it out of there
- Doesn't seem to happen when they get squashed.
  
  Please don't kill these insects. While these only eat pollen, their larvae are highly carnivorous and will eat tons of pests.
- You were rescuing it and it felt threatened? stupid bugs.
  
  Dude they're insects. They're not smart enough to know the difference. Most animals aren't smart enough to know the difference.
  
  To give him/her credit, I must've appeared like one of the Titans from Attack on Titan 😂
Lacewing! Super beneficial insect! I try to grow them every year in my garden. They eat aphids and other pests on plants. It’s a friend :)
- How deep do you plant them? I might try growing some too.
  
  You don’t really plant them, you get eggs on little strips of paper that you hang on your plants. Super easy!
Green Lacewing perhaps.
It's a butterfly (/s)
green lacewing.
Get butter bugged!
I don’t know what kind of bug it is but it would probably taste good sautéed in some butter.
Mayfly?

Edit: I keep forgetting circle-to-search. Green Lacewing it is.
- It might.
Lacewing. They are the adult form of antlions and similar.

The larvae are really good at muncu BG pests.

These are friends.
